Kwon Sang-woo Shares Health Update Post-Liver Surgery on YouTube

Actor Kwon Sang-woo recently shared an update on his health following liver surgery.

On November 1st, the YouTube channel 'Mrs. New Jersey Son Tae-young' released a video titled 'What Son Tae-young, 5 Years in America, Eats When Missing Korea (A Must-Try in Fall)'.

In the video, Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young enjoyed instant tteokbokki at a restaurant run by a Japanese chef. Kwon confessed, "I ate a lot yesterday and felt nauseous while running," to which Son Tae-young revealed, "He has a big appetite."

Regarding Kwon's appetite, Son Tae-young added, "He eats a lot in Korea too. He gets irritable when he's hungry, so I have to feed him quickly," drawing attention.

While discussing food, they mentioned, "Son Tae-young watches Tzuyang's YouTube channel a lot," and Kwon humorously added, "I've watched so many videos that if I saw Tzuyang, I'd probably recognize her," eliciting laughter.

When Son Tae-young mentioned Tzuyang's stomach size, Kwon referenced his liver surgery, saying, "Your man has a big liver. That's why I had it cut." He continued, "My liver grew back. It usually takes two months, but mine grew back in a month. Maybe I'm brave," he joked.

Previously, Kwon revealed that he underwent surgery to remove a liver hemangioma while his wife was away. Despite having a palm-sized portion of his liver removed, doctors noted, "Mr. Kwon has a large liver. Even after removing 30%, it's still the size of an average person's liver."

Kwon, who has finalized his return to Korea, stated, "I stayed for 12 days. This is the shortest time I've spent in the U.S. I have a lot to do in Korea, things I need to handle personally."

Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-young also shared a proud parent moment. They revealed that their son, Rook-hee, received an offer to join the school's track team from his coach and seniors. "The track team winner runs 100 meters in 11.2-3 seconds, and Rook-hee runs it in 11.4 seconds. He was even told by an opposing coach, 'We need a fast runner like you on our team,'" they proudly shared.

Meanwhile, Son Tae-young and Kwon Sang-woo, who married in 2008, have a son and a daughter.
